Yindjibarndi traditional owners are launching a high-stakes appeal against Fortescue’s record $150 million penalty, reigniting a decades-long fight over sacred lands and cultural loss after a May court ruling condemned the company for mining without consent. With 240 sites impacted and 124 destroyed, the judge likened the damage to losing a child. Fortescue, which has already paid the full amount, says it’s committed to a negotiated settlement — but the legal battle continues as the Yindjibarndi Ngurra Aboriginal Corporation formally files their appeal before August 27, with a full Federal Court bench likely to hear the case.
